Relegation follows intrepid trek for Euro debutants
Granada
Teams, tales and tips – a guide to the local game
The splendid Moorish capital of Granada, backdropped by the Sierra Nevada, provides one of the best settings for football in Spain. It's one that followers of Manchester United, Napoli and Molde would have enjoyed in 2021, had hosts Granada Club de Fútbol been able to accommodate spectators during their first, and perhaps only, European run. As fate would have it, the most successful Granada team in history, led by mercurial manager Diego Martínez, had flourished at the same time as the pandemic. Within a few months, Martínez, then the youngest coach in La Liga, had decided against staying at Granada, and the Rojiblancos would be relegated by the end of the following season.
